Toronto | Gay Speed Dating | Ages 23-47

Here's what you can expect at our singles events in Toronto: After purchasing your event ticket, you'll receive a confirmation email from our team once it's processed. Keep an eye on your inbox! On the day of the event, prepare your best outfit and some conversation starters (remember, first impressions are important). Arrive at the venue 15 minutes before the event starts, and our host will check you in and provide you with a scorecard upon arrival. You're encouraged to take the first part of the event to relax, mingle with other guests, and even enjoy a drink at the bar if you'd like (a bit of liquid confidence or a refreshing beverage never hurts).

Once everyone is in attendance and settled, we like to start our Toronto speed dating events with a little icebreaker game to warm everyone up. Perhaps a bit of trivia or a game of "two truths and a lie"? It's important to us that no two events are alike, and our team constantly tries new games and icebreakers at every event.

After the icebreakers are finished, let's begin the speed dating! You'll be seated in front of a potential match with 8 minutes to get to know each other. Feel free to talk about whatever you like, but we always recommend keeping it lighthearted and professional (don't do anything we wouldn't do). Once the time is up, the host will direct the rotation of pairs, and you'll move on to meet your next date.

Remember to take a moment at the start of each date to write down your date's name, and at the end, mark whether you felt it was a good match or not. Once you've spoken to everyone, that's it — great job! Make sure your scorecard is filled out correctly, hand it back to our host, and leave the rest to us.

However, just because the event is over doesn't mean your night has to end! Feel free to stay for a drink (or two). Relax, chat further with some of the other participants from our speed dating event. Within 48 hours, you will hear back from us via email with exciting news about your potential matches from our speed dating event.

Well, for starters, we obsess over our dating events and aim to provide unique one-night experiences. We offer speed dating events for singles in Toronto that have an energetic, exciting, and fast-paced dynamic that steers clear of traditional speed dating tropes.

Speed dating is more than just cycling through people with bland, forced conversation. In-person speed dating is about experiences! Our events are structured to give attendees an opportunity to meet people and have fun doing it. By the end of the event, you may even walk away having learned more about yourself! We offer competitive rates and work with local Toronto venues to offer an engaging atmosphere and memorable experiences. We’ve dated here—we know where to go.

At Flare Events, inclusivity is important to us and we make it our mission to ensure every event is a safe space for all. Our team strives to make each and every speed dating event just as special as the next, with no two events alike. It’s our belief that just because you’re here to meet people, that doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice having a good time. We offer speed dating events in Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary, & Edmonton — and soon to be in other major cities in Canada! So do yourself a favour and attend a dating event with Flare!
